We had been using Frontline or Advantage and then it stopped working and had fleas everywhere. I talked to my vet and they recommended either Comfortis or Triflexis. The Triflexis is the same as the Comfortis but it has the heart worm medicine in it and it cost the same so we went with the Triflexis...

Awww...I am so sorry. He was beautiful and so is your other baby. Run Free BooBoo.

I am so sorry to hear you have lost Mabel. She is now at peace with her sister. Those two beautiful chow girls must be having a ball together over the rainbow bridge. We will light our candle for her tonight.

They look so different soaking wet. I can't wait to see everyone!

I have been fostering Mr. Manny Manfred for about a month or so. I can describe him with probably 100 different words and aggressive sure wouldn't be one of them. Sometimes I have to wonder about the shelters. Manfred meets new people everyday and does just fine. He met some young children last week...

I have read through both posts on this and all the responses. It seems to me that Mochi is very mouthy and the discipline methods so far have not worked or unfortunately made it worse. Add to this the stress of your family giving up on him it is no wonder he is struggling to behave. You may want to ...

I had to get an elderly severely matted chow shaved before. He was shaved all the way to he skin.I was surprised at how quickly it grew back. Within 2 weeks he had fur all over and within 2 months it was fuller than ever. While most wouldn't recommend shaving a chow, I think it will be ok. Just don'...

I voted to take her with you but after hearing about her health issues I am concerned about the flight. All of the issues you mentioned you would have in DC would be inconveniences to you but I don't feel that is a reason to put her down (although I do sympathize). I really think at this point, it w...

Of course any dog can kill a cat in certain circumstances. It is up to you to see the situations and avoid them. Most cats teach dogs to stay away using their claws. Are claws going to stop a determined dog, no, but a few pokes to an overly curious dog does teach the dog when they have over stepped ...

Happy Belated B-Day Indigo!!!!!!!!! Boogie, Teddie, and Teekie all celebrated it with you by having one of those delicious cookies. I just didn't get to post yet. We love your tiara, Indigo. We are glad to see you are being treated like the princess you are. And you and Tiggy are so good posing for ...

That is even more awful. Please let us know what the doctor says about the other puppy.

Oh no, I am so sorry to hear this. He had a very short but very nice life with you. It sounds like he enjoyed every minute and was lucky that you did all you did for him. I don't understand why vets are always so quick to recommend putting them down. I am glad you didn't listen to them. Now it is Pr...

Didn't Arnold try to do the same thing. I remember his daughter protested against him and changed his mind. I will definitely sign this.

Tigger looks like he knows this routine and is taking his Rudolph audition seriously but the look on Indigo's face says, "I don't know what is going on here but please stop." I think they both look great! Merry Christmas!

Thank you for the clarification. It sucks that originally everyone had the same intention, saving chows, but the ideas of how to do it and the thought processes were all different. It sounds like it spiraled out of control. In the end, it is Lauren and Tim who are legally responsible so I can defini...

While riding in any vehicle, he should be wearing a harness attached to a seatbelt or be in a crate. They have specific seatbelt leashes or you can loop a regular leash through the plugged in seatbelt. And this will also keep him restrained to whatever part of the vehicle you want him in.

I am very sorry for your loss.

I would get 2 crates. You can put them next to each other when you want and you can also separate them when you don't want them together. My Chows didn't use their crates for too long. They prefer to be tethered to something when they need to be restrained versus crated. I do use them for my Pekinge...

I have a sled dog as well with Boogie. I have used the gentle leader with the halti on his face which worked well until he decided he had enough of it and threw himself on the ground and scraped his face until he got it off. So I switched to a no pull harness. I also use a regular collar with a leas...

I am very sorry for your loss. I know how tough it is to make that decision. He looks like he had a wonderful life with you. He is running free now.

It sounds like he is in pain. Is he on pain meds and meds for his failing legs? I had a senior foster whose back end was failing like that and he too was easily agitated and would snap at me and scare me. I thought it was going to be the end for him but we took him to the vet for a last ditch effort...

I am so very sorry for your loss. Your boy was very lucky to have you taking care of him in his final years. Now he is an angel looking down on you, running around free of pain.

Happy belated birthday Leo! I hope the party was great!

We agree with everything Mochi and Yoshi said. Thank you for the calendar and picture and thank you for a great time! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much for another great time Lou, Chika, Karen, and Cindy. Your hard work is all appreciated. And thank you so much for the gifts and the memorial candle for Fozzie. Cindy, we definately missed you and hope all is well. Boogie was embarrassed that he behaved so badly. In the car on the w...
